R.I.P. Jennifer "Miro" Anderson, Singer From San Francisco Punk Band the Nuns

SF Weekly reports that Jennifer "Miro" Anderson, singer for the 1970s and 80s punk act the Nuns, died of cancer-related causes last month in New York City, at age 54.

The Nuns, which also featured Alejandro Escovedo in their original lineup, were originally part of the mid-70s San Francisco punk scene. They opened the Sex Pistols' final show, at Winterland in San Francisco, in 1978. While the Nuns never reached mainstream popularity, they were seen as important figures in the early punk movement. Anderson also worked as a model, actress, and screenwriter.
